I am lookig for a cheap reseller host with a plan similar to ResellerZoom's Budget One and with a good reputation. I don't want to spend too much, under $10/month. Anyone have a suggestion? Thanks.

If you dont mind me asking, why not use there service?
$4.95 is cheap, now granted its not a lot of space but it still looks to be a good deal.

Im just wondering...

To find good, dependable, reseller hosting, I'd recommend you raising your budget.

I second that opinion. $5 a month is not nearly enough to dedicate the proper resources to get a good reseller account up and running. 2 or 3 support tickets would turn that account into a loss for the host.

i agree also i just figure someone that has been here as long as he has he would know about that kind of stuff.

and your right about the cost it would be hard to sell a reseller plan for that cheap knowing what my expenses (Servers, support team, and all the other fees) are for every month

I do use them. Only they don't allow a couple of my websites. I want a reseller plan, just because those normally come with WHM. I don't like having to use addon domains. I'm pretty sure I have seen a host like them, only I forgot what it was.

ah ok, like i said i was just wondering, not trying to get in your business.
i dont know of any other companies that have it that cheap.
my advice would be just talk to a few of them and ask them for a plan that would fit your needs im sure most would be able to help you out (depending on the sites you are talking about)

What type of websites don't they allow? This may be something you need to ask the new host your looking for to make sure the sites are ok.

It's a proxy site... I understand why they don't want it, lol.

Exactly, as ldcdc has pointed out. If a provider can offer this at such costs either you are loosing quality in service (not all the time), or you are not permitted to host such material. With that said, good luck in your search :)

You get what you paid for, Rm5/m with proxy site allowed, it is surely something to figure out before any decision is made.

I'm sure some do--largely depends upon the amount of resources a client needs. I don't see why a proxy site would necessairly be bad per-se if the script was well-written, server was secure, and the bandwidth allotments were enforced.

I wouldn't allow that site on one of my servers if you paid me $50.

Good luck, you'll need it.
